Since I met you, people are dying every day

Ye Sirui didn't know if Xia Shuzhi knew the reason why the east is more expensive than the west, and he didn't have such a lack of common sense.

"No need." Xia Shu picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, just like drinking wine.Ye Sirui was used to eating together all the way, so he didn't feel anything. "It's all done by servants, so you don't have to worry about trouble. Besides, the study room in my house was originally cleaned up for Kuang'er."

"It's not troublesome, I didn't plan to live here for a long time." Xia Shu took another chopstick.

Ye Sirui gave Ye Kuang a look helplessly, Ye Kuang immediately stopped chopsticks and looked at Xia Shu, "Master, do you want to go?"

Xia Shu was stared at by Ye Kuang with tears in his eyes, obviously not as calm as when he was talking to Ye Sirui. "I plan to leave in a few days."

"Master, what should I do if you are gone?" Ye Kuang immediately went to him and hugged his arm. "Master, I haven't learned anything yet. Why did you leave me behind? No one will protect me when you leave. What if you are not afraid that I will be in danger again?"

This is very inappropriate to say, but at this moment, he can't care about so much.Xia Shu was obviously stunned by Ye Kuang's question, pursed his lips and remained silent.Ye Kuang hugged his arm and stared at him, about to cry.

Ye Sirui decided to push again: "It's no good for you to go back to Dong'an County. Besides, you live in the mansion with Kuang'er, so it's convenient to give him advice. If you worry about not being able to make a living, I will give you monthly money , In addition, you don't have to feel uncomfortable here, as it is in Dong'an, it will be in Helin."

Xia Shu was silent for half a day, and only said: "Okay."

Xia Tian let go, and Ye Sirui immediately let go of the big stone in his heart, "Then tell them to move things today."

"No need." Xia Shu said, "It's fine for me to live in the West Wing."

Ye Sirui was afraid that he would go back on his word, so he stopped persuading him.He gave Ye Kuang a dish with chopsticks. "Kuang'er, do you want to go to the academy to study?"

Ye Kuang was at a loss, and looked at him in fear: "But isn't Uncle Rui going to invite Mr. to come home?"

Ye Sirui tried his best to ignore Xia Shu's icy gaze, and stroked Ye Kuang's bun. "I also changed my mind recently. It's too stubborn to keep you at home studying. There are many people of the same age in the academy. It's more interesting for you to study with them."

Ye Kuang was obviously tempted by this reason, "But then you have to live in the Academy?" He asked.

"No." Ye Sirui said, "Songhe Academy is not far from the south of the city. Every day when you leave school, I will ask someone to pick you up in a carriage. Besides, there is Xiu Mu in the academy, and when you come back on a holiday, you can ask your master to teach you." You are martial arts."

Ye Kuang was relieved of his worries, and immediately smiled, very happy.

After dinner, Ye Sirui ordered the boy to prepare lake pens, ink ingots and other things, and prepared to take him to Songhe Academy.But someone announced: "Master Xiancheng is here." As soon as the words finished, Ye Fu came over in ordinary clothes, bowing and saluting, "My lord, it's time for a rest today, why don't we go to Anshunhou's mansion to pay a visit."

Ye Sirui had already put this matter on the back burner in his mind, and now that he brought it up, he could only say: "Then I will trouble Yufeng to introduce you."

So he had to put aside the matter of the academy, and sent Ye Kuang to learn swordsmanship with Xia Xia. Ye Sirui straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, rearranged his worship, and went out in a small sedan chair for two people.

The Marquis of Anshun is a first-class marquis, but he only has the title of title and food salary, and no fiefdom, not to mention the fact that the title is not alive.But his eldest son, He An, became an official in the imperial examination, and he was a noble Hanlin.The second son, He Ying, has also entered school, and he has a great martial arts style. His family is also the mother clan of the emperor, and they are connected by blood, so there must be officials to rely on.He Quan resigned from his old age and returned to his hometown, settling down and reconciling, which somewhat meant to avoid suspicion.

When the sedan chair arrived at the gate of the Marquis of Anshun's mansion, Ye Sirui asked the guard at the gate to pass in the greeting card, and waited in the sedan chair.After a while, the middle door was wide open, and the guards asked the bearers to get up and enter.Ye Sirui felt something was wrong, so he had no choice but to follow the Romans.

When I got off the sedan chair, I saw an old man in his 50s in front of the main house, with a benevolent and amiable face.Before he had time to take a closer look, Ye Sirui saluted with Ye Fu, "I have seen Marquis Anshun." Hearing the voice from above: "Please stand up, both of you, there is no need to be polite." Then they stood up and looked directly at him.

Anshun Hou He Quan was wearing a stone blue deep robe, a taupe-colored smock outside, and an old man's scarf on his head. He was very approachable.His temples and hair are all black, he does not look old, his eyebrows are drawn into his temples, his eyes are piercing, and he is young and handsome.

"Two of you, please," he said.

Marquis Anshun sat on the upper seat, and asked Ye Sirui to sit on his left, Ye Sirui couldn't shirk, so he had to sit down, and Ye Fu sat on Ye Sirui's hands.The boy came up to serve tea.

Ye Sirui picked up the tea bowl and blew on the clear tea. Seeing the golden tea leaves were as thin as silver needles, he smiled and said, "What a gold inlaid jade."

He Quan heard him say the common name of Junshan Silver Needle, smiled slightly, and took a sip of tea, "I am old, and I like to drink Laojunshan. You young people may not be used to it, right?"

"Master Hou is in his prime of life, there is no reason why we are not used to drinking such good tea." Ye Sirui blew lightly again, took a sip, and praised: "It really lives up to its reputation."

Ye Fu also smiled apologetically from below: "The lower official came back to visit, but he didn't drink such good tea. It can be seen that Lord Hou values ​​Lord Ye."

He Quan didn't get annoyed when he heard his jokes, "This is Mingqian tea, which was served only this year. I don't have many here. If you like it, ask someone to bring it for you." Ye Fu smiled and said he didn't dare.He turned his head and said to Ye Sirui: "Yufeng and I are old acquaintances, if Mr. Ye doesn't mind, I'll call Ziqi too."

Ye Sirui also responded in fear.

He Quan asked him, "Which subject is Ziqi a Jinshi?"

Ye Sirui had no choice but to explain: "Xiaguan talents are not good at learning. They only won the Juren and were elected officials and released. They have never experienced two rankings."

He Quan was both regretful and puzzled, "Why don't you continue the scientific examination at such a young age. Instead, you are eager to enter the official career? There is a world of difference between the two rankings and the Juren's background, don't you know?"

Ye Fu was afraid that Ye Sirui would be angry, so he gave him winks again and again, but Ye Sirui knew that He Quan was really sorry, but he was not annoyed, and still smiled warmly: "The Hanlin is noble, and the six divisions are rich. How can the lower officials not know, but Fengmu is sad, brother Died young, Ziqi dared not not take back his nephew, devoted himself to raising him, how could he have time to continue his studies and career, and only hoped to enter the official career early, which would relieve his embarrassment in the pocket, and also be useful.”

He Quan stroked his beard again with regret.A servant came forward and replied, "Master, Second Young Master heard that Mr. Ye is coming, so he thought of coming to see him."

He Quan grabbed his beard and looked embarrassed, "You tell him to come here." After the servant went down, he said to Ye Sirui: "My little son, Ziqi met yesterday. Excessive, and even more stubborn. If he has something wrong, Wang Ziqi will tolerate it for my sake, but if he makes a mistake, just ask me to punish him."

"Father, you're talking bad about me again." He Ying came in response.He is wearing a green shirt, sprinkled with red, and looks heroic.He said hello according to the etiquette, and He Quan pretended to be annoyed, "If you mess around again, I will deduct your monthly payment."

This hit He Ying's deathbed, he sighed, "Father, please don't, my son is poor, one tael of monthly money is not enough, if you deduct my son, he will have no food money."

He Quan was satisfied when He Ying begged for mercy, "It's time to confiscate them all, and stop messing with those dubious people to eat wine, and stop running to those picky places!"

The father and son joked for a while, and He Ying turned to look at Ye Sirui, "Will your lord come with me to the school grounds?" Maybe because his father was there, he restrained himself a little, and didn't say anything about teaching him how to ride and shoot.

He Quan frowned, "What did you ask Mr. Ye to go to the school grounds for?"

He Ying smiled and didn't answer, Ye Sirui got up and stood in front of He Quan, "Return to your lord, I talked with you at the banquet yesterday, and mentioned your school grounds, you are very proud, so I'm tempted to come and see you."

He Quan didn't seem to believe him, he just left Ye Fu to talk and asked He Ying to take him to the school grounds.

The school grounds of the Hou Mansion are indeed magnificent, with a large area of ​​grass that can accommodate hundreds of soldiers for drills.In the middle of the school grounds is the martial arts arena, to the west there is a racecourse, and haystack targets are set up on both sides of the horse racing area.

He Ying took him to the racecourse, and asked someone to lead two horses, a black pony, presumably it was his mount.Ye Sirui showed approval when he saw it, and He Ying said triumphantly: "Don't look at this horse as short, it's a Mongolian horse from the north, it's cold and hungry, and it's a good war horse."

Seeing that Ye Sirui liked it, he took the fodder and fed it with his own hands. The horse seemed to like Ye Sirui too, allowing him to stroke its mane.

"Where's my mount?" Ye Sirui asked.

He Ying said: "You want to learn riding and archery, and it's just right for you. Shall I show you how to experience it first?"

Ye Sirui said: "Since it's your mount, I don't offend you." Then he asked the groom to lead out an ordinary bay red horse, stepped on the stirrups, turned on the horse, and held the rein with both hands to force the horse with its head down to raise its head. Come on, with a flick of the whip, the horse will scatter and run away.Ye Sirui galloped his horse to the edge of the school field, then slowed down and ran back slowly.

"This is considered bad at riding and shooting, my lord is too modest." He Ying said.

Ye Sirui smiled and said, "I didn't lie to you." He Ying handed him a bow and an arrow, and Ye Sirui slowly pulled the bow away without nocking the arrow.He hadn't drawn his bow for a long time, but he was able to draw more than half of it, and he was very lucky.

"Try shooting an arrow." He Ying said.

Ye Sirui opened his bow and picked up an arrow, aiming at a target, counting three, two, one in his heart and releasing the arrow, the arrow passed by the target.He put his hand down and touched the horse's neck to comfort him.

"That's right, it seems that you just need to train your head." He Ying also got on the horse, took another bow, and carried a quiver on his back. Three, hit three targets.He turned his horse's head and rushed back again, and fired three more shots, all of which hit. "How is it?" He held the rein tightly and stopped the horse in front of Ye Sirui, his face was full of excitement, and there were dense beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Sure enough." Ye Sirui praised sincerely.
